This is a high level idea of what features you can expect to see in Shika 1.2.

Exercise (Subjective Quizzes) lesson type supports

Assessment Engine to assess Exercises. Can also be used to assess other lesson types like Events ! Supports Assessment parameters (Rating, textbox, yes/no, checkbox) and weights for parameters. Assessors can also give descriptive reasons for what scores they give against each parameter as well as overall.

Feedback forms as lesson types. This allows you to take user feedback as part of the course.

Restructuring of Quizzes as a lesson type rather than being a separate option.
